Using Twitter To Promote Your Affiliate Products

Using Twitter to promote your affiliate products isn't a new idea; it has been successfully used by savvy Internet business marketers for quite some time.

If you are not already doing so, you should definitely try using Twitter to promote your affiliate products online.

Because Twitter has emerged as such a powerful social networking tool; many affiliates have been taking advantage of it to increase their earnings, as well as their visitor traffic.

As long as you're discreet and don't get yourself labeled as a "Twitter spammer", Twitter is probably the fastest way to get the "word" out and promote your affiliate products online.

Sign up for a free Twitter account at www.Twitter.com; then follow the easy instructional tutorials to begin creating your own little sphere of influence in your market niche or area of expertise and start growing your list of followers.

It's a good idea to be actively participating in the Twitter community before you blatantly begin promoting your niche affiliate products. People that start off this way seldom do well with long term marketing.

People in the community recognize when they are being targeted by an onslaught of advertising and will usually simply reject the product or treat the Tweeter as a spammer.

To become included as part of the community; begin by helping other people with their problems when you can and interact with others that are involved in your market niche as much as possible.

Interacting with people by offering them help when you can provide them with a solution to their problems, is a sure way to create an enduring friendship.

Introducing yourself to people in your market niche or niches and asking plenty of questions, is also a great way to create followers and make genuine friendships.

Follow people and they will usually follow you. Look for questions that you have solutions for and offer them to people in your market niche to build your following.

Then and only then, should you start posting your affiliate links.

Don't Tweet your affiliate link all over Twitter every day, or with every Tweet. That is the quickest way to get the "Twitter spammer" label pinned on your lapel.

Once you have it, it's hard to shed.

If you follow people and enter into the discussion; you can occasionally mention your affiliate link as a resource or as a solution to people's problems and generate legitimate interest in your product or service without getting the "Twitter spammer" moniker.

Remember.... Twitter is primarily all about relationships.
